SUMMARY

The discussion centers on building a wireless robotic car using the PIC microcontroller 16F877. The recommended programming language is C++, while MPLAB IDE is suggested as the appropriate tool for compiling the PIC code. The 16F877 microcontroller is deemed sufficient for this project, as confirmed by a lecturer's recommendation. However, the choice of a wireless module remains uncertain, with no specific suggestions provided in the discussion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of C++ programming language
  • Familiarity with MPLAB IDE for PIC code compilation
  • Knowledge of PIC microcontroller architecture, specifically 16F877
  • Basic concepts of wireless communication modules
NEXT STEPS
  • Research wireless communication modules compatible with PIC 16F877
  • Explore advanced features of MPLAB IDE for optimizing code
  • Learn about interfacing sensors and actuators with PIC microcontrollers
  • Investigate C++ libraries for robotics applications
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for hobbyists, robotics enthusiasts, and engineers interested in building wireless robotic systems using PIC microcontrollers.

I have a few questions.

1. Which programming language should I use? I am thinking of using C++. I know assembly but am not very good at it, so I am trying to avoid assembly.

2. Which program should i use to compile the PIC code? I am thinking of using MPLAB IDE. Is it sufficient/ok?

3. Is 16F877 enough to build a wireless robotic car? It was recommended by my lecturer. But i need further confirmation.

4. Which wireless module should I use? For this one, I have no idea at all.

I hope you all can help me with this. Your help is needed. Thank you.

Best Regards,
KL.

pages 55-58 might be of interest to you

they wouldn't give me the (assembly) source code to modify it after i built it a few years ago sadly
